## Summary

The current procurement opportunity is initiated by Historic England, a public authority under the central government based in Swindon, United Kingdom. The tender, titled "ITT - Inclusive Consultants Framework - UID 173," falls under services in the general management consultancy sector, human resources, and equal opportunities consultancy. This procurement is in the tender stage, with the deadline for tender submissions set for 2nd September 2026. The procurement follows an open procedure, aiming to appoint up to 20 consultants to a framework designed to enhance project inclusivity by addressing diversity representation challenges. Notably, the contract period is from 1st October 2026 to 30th September 2028.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses with expertise in addressing barriers faced by marginalised groups, ensuring diversity and inclusion in projects. Organisations proficient in management and human resource consultancy, especially those with experience in the heritage sector, are well-suited to compete. Successful inclusion in this framework could provide substantial growth opportunities as the framework allows for work allocations via mini-competitions or direct awards. Businesses focusing on delivering high-quality consultancy services while maintaining a commitment to social value, including environmental benefits and working towards net-zero greenhouse gas emissions, will find this an appealing opportunity to collaborate with Historic England.

## Notice

Historic England is expanding inclusive programming, but staff diversity does not yet reflect this shift. This means that projects can go ahead without representation from affected groups. We are looking to appoint organisations to a framework to bring in external consultants with expertise in the barriers that marginalised groups face to remedy this lack of representation without expecting contributors to carry full project responsibilities. We are looking to add up to 20 consultants to the framework. Work will be allocated using mini-competitions and in circumstances outlined under the requirements section via direct award.
